Find a ZX/MZ-L It suits your need very nicely... Cheers Andy -----Original Message----- From: Morgan Cooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 15, 2004 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Purchasing a second body
Hello everyone! This is my first post to the list so please excuse any "dumbness" on my part... I've owned a ZX-M for about three years now and suddenly decided that I wanted to be able to do rear-curtain sync flash photography. Since I knew nothing about flash photography in general, I went down to my local Wolf Camera and started asking questions. Using my strategy of "Here's-the-camera-that-I-own-I'll-pretend-to-come-in-and-purchase-this-next -week-I-just-need-to-know-what-I-should-get," I learned of all the merits of the AF-500 FTZ flash unit. So, I purchased it online (used, at half the price). Imagine my surprise when I got my fancy flash unit home and suddenly learned there is a difference between TTL metering and TTL flash metering... This flash unit is great. Too bad I can only use it manually. So, I need a new body. I can't really afford a new one, and I don't mind using old equipment at all. I'm just a bit confused about what to purchase. I shoot almost exclusively in manual mode. I don't really see myself using any fancy automatic programmed picture type settings. I do need a good meter reading in the viewfinder, quick shutter/aperture adjustment, the ability to do exposure compensation, and of course--support for my new flash. I've been thinking that perhaps I should purchase a used PZ-20. Any suggestions? Also, are there any differences with PZ-20 vs. Z-20? As far as I can tell they are the same. Thanks in advance, -Morgan _________________________________________________________________ Fast. Reliable. Get MSN 9 Dial-up - 3 months for the price of 1!
